Regents trim budget request for Kansas higher education
Kansas Board of Regents approve a slimmer budget increase of 31.8 million, down from nearly 60 million, and put a major Kansas University building project on hold. The revised request will go to Gov. Sam Brownback for inclusion in the January budget proposal. Community colleges face the largest cut, with technical education eyed for an 8 million increase after a 4 to 3 vote.

Renters now occupy 58.2 percent of all occupied households, up from 54.1 percent in 2000, while homeowners account for 41.8 percent. Lawrence added renters at about five times the national average, aided by a large student population. Rental household size falls from 2.07 in 2000 to 1.94 in 2010, signaling smaller dwellings as the city’s housing mix evolves.
